Question

To ask the Prime Minister, how many receptions his Office has hosted for which participation in Conservative Party activity was the main criterion for invitation, in each quarter of each year since 2010-11.

As was the practice under previous administrations and in accordance with the Ministerial Code (6.2), I have hosted a number of political events at Downing Street. The costs were met by the Conservative Party. Details of official and charity receptions held at Downing Street are published on a quarterly basis. Details can be accessed via the gov.uk website.
